General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How we handle facade sealing in Pixham
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. Most enquiries involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and staining on stone next to old sealant, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Pixham from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Pixham is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near Pixham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
What we’re called out for in Pixham
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
For a contractor at a hotel such as Denbies Vineyard Hotel, 0.7 miles to the north-west of Pixham, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Proof of insurance

Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Glebelands Centre Business Park, 1.1 miles south-west of Pixham, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a school such as The Ashcombe School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Questions about Pixham
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Dorking Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Pixham off your patch?
No. Places such as Pixham are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access, and we’ll plan the work with you.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
